TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Television News: Hero for New Orleans, Hero for the Nation JO - Space and culture A1 - Fry, K. SP - 83 EP - 85 VL - 9 IS - 1 N2 - Early network television coverage of Hurricane Katrina was a narrative of good versus evil. TV news placed itself in the role of hero fighting the evil that was government ineptitude. This narrative style of reporting is especially fitting to the medium of television, which shapes all stories to fit its parameters, and is common in natural disaster stories, which are, ultimately, stories not about nature but about people.
